The Louisiana Waterthrush found by myself, Don Perks and Jerry Guild this past weekend remains at the location outlined below. It was singing virtually non-stop this morning at 6 am and could easily be heard from where you park your car. Also there were many singing Pine Warblers, and in the valley immediately south of this location on Fallbrook road I saw an American Bittern land amongst the rushes. Also heard here this morning was a calling Pileated Woodpecker
Iin the swampier areas around here and also in Erin, it would appear that Northern Waterthrushes have arrived overnight in numbers. To get to the Louisiana Waterthrush continue northerly until just past the top of the very steep hill you come to the 27th Side Road. (Aproximately 200 feet). Turn left here at the Silver Creek Conservation Center and go to the bend in the road (aprox. 150 yards) and park in the widened portion of the road provided on the south side. In front of you will be a very steep ravine with a strongly running watercourse running through it. Proceed southerly down the path (Bruce Trail) 100 feet or so and the Waterthrush should be singing in the ravine. The bird can also easily be heard from where you park the car also.
